- How long before help arrives?

- I have no idea.

We're waiting for the police investigation.

- Why don't we just drive out on your truck?

- I already told you.

When did you join the project, JC?

Were you there from the start or you just signed up later?

From the start,

I told you.

My records said,

there were no women on the team.

There was no

Dr. Jenny Christianson.

You think, I'm lying?

Come with me.

This is dated July 12th to

July 19th.

The first shot the week

of our arrival.

When Borman leasing arrangements,

there were some concerns..

that a single woman

among men..

Union rules about separate showers

and toilet facilities and so on...

Our research budget was already stretched

and I would have lost my place on the team...

... had I not agreed to share with the men...

... so Borman falsified my name and gender.

There.

Do you still have doubts?

Just your not in the records.

Brooks.

I'm registered as Dr. Alan Brooks.

They found Ivanov.

Alive.

That's uhmm..wonderful.

Okay, JC.

What's the full story?

You know if I tell you, you'll be like us.

You won't be able to not know.

Try me.

Well, after we penetrated the cavity...

... we were very keen to find out

what was down there.

We stationed a number of remote sensors.

One of them transmits live audio data. Sound.

This is what we're picking up.

- It's almost like wind? Right?

- Yeah. And you agree with me.

- Thank God

- Wait. Wait.

All that sound...

Who are them?...

Like people in pain.

No one believed it at first.

That's just bizarre.

- I mean, it's like it's..

- That's how we all felt.

And for a time, none of us

wanted to talk about it.

This, the drilling crew they begin

mouldering we've released something.

They started seeing things

wandering around the corridors at night.

What things?

Spirits, Poltergeist, Genies...

And, who knows?

Obviously, some kind of mass hysteria.

But they believed what they were seeing.

What about the scientists?

Dr. Varga said, he woke to see

his dead mother sitting at the foot of his bed.

Carrying the corpse of a

still born twin.

I'm certain it contributed

to his heart attack.

I don't know about you...

but I think I need a drink.

Why didn't you tell me

this earlier?

I didn't wanna encourage the

same symptoms in you.

Visions.

Like at the shaft head?

And at the infirmary?

That's how it starts, Jack.

Sake.

Yeah...cheers.

and you attribute all

of these to...

- Like it's some...

- Why not just say the word, Jack?

What? Hell?

Is that what I'm supposed to think?

That hell is a physical place,

that lies just mile beneath us?

and that Borman well,

they drilled into it.

People once thought it geographically
